<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 2317579, member: 84&quot;]Well I sent in pics &amp; info on the Gourgue painting to Christie&#039;s to see if they were interested in selling it - they appraised it for $500 - $1,000 - less than their usual $10,000 starting price, BUT they did give me 2 other auction houses that have sold his work at that price. And now I have some estimate of my painting&#039;s value!</p><p>Email answer below:</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for contacting Christie&#039;s. We have carefully reviewed the information you provided. We estimate your Jacques-Enguerrand Gourgue oil painting between 500 and 1,000USD. As Christie’s typically sells items with a low estimate of 10,000 USD, we are unable to offer it a place in consignment at this time.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is not to say it lacks value! Due to Christie’s shipping and consignment fees, it would be more advantageous for you, as a consignor, to sell at a smaller venue. I would recommend contacting either John Moran Auctioneers or Stair Galleries, companies that has recently sold Gourgue’s at comparable values to the estimate above. Please do let them know that you were referred to them by Christie’s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
